I was listening to you while searching local MA schools. You had me praising! I was preoccupied with my search then heard you say "no, youre NOT too old to me a medical assistant. So long as youre alive, you can do it" Yes! Thank you.from the 50 year old wanna be medical assistant ❤❤❤
At 50 we are only getting started lol!!
This makes me so happy to hear ❤️ Go for it!
47 and planning on starting next year ❤
@@kkuem2they have online classes?
First of Ms. K. You are looking fabulous.
I’ve been following all your study tips and I will be taking my CCMA exam tomorrow. I trust the lord I will come back and let you know I passed. Thank you for all your training and encouragement you have no idea how much your helping. Plus you have a great soothing voice. ❤ stay blessed doll.
Thank you! And I'm trusting with you 🙏🏾❤️ You got this!
Hi I am new to your channel I have been a NCMA for 25 years. I love my job but as I am starting a remote job as a NCMA. I am from Chicago Illinois, I have also lived in Indiana and Kansas. Kansas is a no limit state which means they can grab anyone with no schooling background and hands on training. We all get paid the same. In Illinois you don’t have a certificate but get paid less. Indiana is the same. I love what I do but being a military wife I loose my patients but if I stay remote I can always be with them as long as I have high internet speed 😊
Hi, thank you for sharing this. I had no idea Kansas was a no limit state. If this is the case, I would suggest that people at least take my MA refresher course to get some type of education before going to work in an office.
Richard, I would suggest at least getting some type of education, even if it’s informal. I have a medical assistant refresher course that I have created, which helps with that.
@Richardrunnar you can sign up for the clinical course at www.MARefresherCourse.com. I will be adding more modules in the coming weeks.
Love your videos MS. K❤❤❤
I'm so glad! ❤️
Hi, I am new to your Channel. I have a question for you. Is 100% English required to take this course?
Thank you!
Last year , I took a leap of faith to become a medical assistant . In the beginning I wanted to quit because there was so much information and I wasn't catching on. I stuck with it an graduated. I'm still super nervous though, I don't want to kill my patient because of my mistake. I don't know what I will run into. I wish I would've researched everything in the beginning
Hi Ms. K. If you or anyone has an advice for me it’s all appreciated!!! I started jan8th this year with Herzing Uni and we do have hands on classes, but the reading material and assignments are online. For me it’s working and I graduate December 8th. My first MA Exam is free, if I fail I have to pay for the second one. I bring this up because that’s my biggest concern. I have a hard time retaining a lot of reading material at once or taking in every little thing. I got good grades, but to me, knowing the info without having a set of answer to select from means more to me. I can do that but only with simple information. Like oh yeah derma means skin. It’s very basic things that anyone can remember. I love anatomy and physiology and I think I did the best in that but it’s soooo much to remember. When the time comes for the exam in December this year, I’m so afraid that even if I study, I won’t know enough. That’s literally what’s plaguing my mind everyday. I can do assignments all day and get good scores, but just retaining, studying it’s so hard I think. Anyone have any advice? Tips?
Ms. K can you answer me this why is there more cons than Pros about people becoming any type of medical field I can't understand why go through all this schooling to be disgusted with it I don't understand and then to make a video about and for someone like me that went back to school to get her high school diploma and now about to start taking my class as a MA i have seen so many videos of why not to be a MA I am a 54-year-old mom of seven that had to work 3 jobs 2weekly and one on the weekend teaching young ladies to praise dance so my life has always wanted to be in the medical field my baby sister is a Doctor now and I am sooooo proud of her and my daughter is a CCMA and all the other kids are doing very well I might say so I really want to make my one dream come true helping people I helped raised all 154+ neices and nephews and all my brothers and sisters so now I am ready to live out my dream I thank you for the beautiful video I am focused and willing to work my but off and thank you for saying i am not to old i will be looking for your book God Bless
This is a good question and loaded so I may do a video answering it... but in short, go for it! The medical field is wonderful and I love what I do. We need more people who truly love it so if people are leaving, great because we need more genuine people and less people who don't really love what they do.
Hi, Ms. K! I’m glad you’re posting videos again! I loved watching your CCMA study guide videos last year. They helped me study and prepare to get certified last year when I took my CCMA certification exam in April 2023! I recommend to anyone if they can try to get your employer to pay for your MA school. That’s what I did. My employer paid for me to go to MA school. It was all online (which is great because I have to work. I can’t leave work to go to school full-time right now) and I was also able to do my externship (not required) at my job which is a huge plus! Good luck to all who want to pursue a career as a MA! It’s not for everyone, but if you love to help people and have a passion for healthcare, you will thoroughly enjoy it like I do!
Love this thank you for sharing! That’s so awesome that they paid for it for you… and I’m glad to know my videos helped ❤
Hey Ms. K!, I am considering in becoming a CMAA and right now I am in my sophomore year in PT but was considering on being a PTA for work. Would it be possible to work as a CMAA and a PTA at the same time? Like in one facility?
Hey! Can you let me know what you are referring to when you say PTA? It could mean a couple different things. Are you referring to physical therapy assistant?
Hey I have a question I’m studying for certification medical administration assistant will I be able to work in a CMA also even if I have the CMAA and why is it hard to search a job for CMAA
Hi, you can only do administrative work with that certification. Don’t search CMAA though. You have to search for positions like medical receptionists, front desk, scheduler, etc.
I completed my undergrad in biomedical engineering,now I really passionate to become medical assistant what should I do now,to become medical assistant?
Hi, all you need to do is search for medical assisting schools in your area.
I’m going through the workforce development program ❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome!
is american career college a good choice?😊
Hi Ms. K, I’m currently a stay at home mom/wife. I won’t be able to work until my son is around 4 or 5 due to not having childcare and he is currently 2 right now. Should I enroll in a medical assistant program right now or wait until he’s older and I am able to work?
Love it! This is helpful!! I will start my Medical assistant class in April! Thank you!
Awesome! I wish you the best 🙏🏾❤️
They have online classes
Idk what I want to do, I do have a heart for ppl and I am good at nursing ppl back to health, and I enjoy it, im just kinda nervous, I tried phlebotomy and I didn't like getting poked and while I was good at it, I was nervous. But I still want to do something
Hello, MS.K. I'm a high school student with aspirations of becoming an MA. Online programs appear, and when I read the evaluations, I see that a lot of individuals pass the medical assistant exam, become certified, and get a job, which is why I want to apply the same so I have more time to work a part-time job while studying. They are entirely online and do not offer in-person clinical classes. However, they do offer a virtual, lifelike video clinical for instruction; I'm not sure if they will offer KIT or not. Miss, would you still suggest an entirely online course? Thank you😊
Hey, good question. Although I do not like or recommend online programs for medical assistants, I do know that people are having success with them. So it’s up to you. But just make sure you know what kind of resources they will offer to you. Are they going to pay for your certification as well as the study material? Are they going to send you an at-home kit? Do they provide an externship for you? These are the types of questions you want to ask. You have to get that hands-on training somehow.
Thank you ms
I’m from Maryland and I want to be a medical receptionist so this information is good to know.
Thank you very much. Is their vocational schools or CMA schools that accept international student.
I have heard that the online SFSU medical assistant program is good and former students landed jobs. It's a bit expensive though
This was very helpful thank you so much ❤
You’re welcome! ❤️
your video so beautiful but your video is not getting views due some problems
My channel is actually doing great even though I don’t post that much. I post when I have time. Thanks.
Its a blessing sering your video.. thank you very much.
Hello, I am an IMG I will ask my letter of recommendation from my country of origin. Is this Goes to the letter of recommendation? Where should I put it ?
Hello, Ms. K! Thank you so much for your videos and explanations! I watched during my MA class and before the exam. And I passed it on last Wendsday!🎉 I just want to thank you and one more thing,- I’m a foreigner who was a lawyer in my home country and came here 1 year ago to change my life in the absolutely opposite direction and your videos were such helpful for me! God bless you!
You’re welcome! ❤️ Congratulations 🎉
Hello did you take ur, class online ? Im checking thru different schools trying to do research to make decision on which one ?
@@blackberrie3567me too I’m still looking
Hi Ms K, can one work in Behavioral health/ Psych as a medical assistant? I’m an MA student who goes on externship in September & i am interested in psych as well as a few other specialities.
Hi, yes you can. I would look up these type of positions in your area to get an idea of how in demand MAs are in that specialty.
My beloved sister I have plan to become clinical medical assistant can I get job in canada if I take the course in africa uganda
Hi, I’m not exactly sure how things work in other countries. I suggest doing a Google search to make sure. Look up the requirements for working as a medical assistant in the country that you plan to move to.
Thank you Ms. k, i am currently completing an online program but then we have a guaranteed internship after the course so i am super excited ☺️
Awesome! I wish you the best 🙏🏾❤️
I recently finished school and my externship in one week. Is it OK that I don’t remember everything taught to me in the last year of school? I mainly referring to everything talk to me about anatomy, and maybe every medical term we have covered. I am certified as a CCMA.
It happens but it's best to brush up first. You can watch videos to brush up. I have a few on my channel. Find out what specialty you're going to and make sure you're brushed up in those skills.
They have online classes?
If you live in the HD in California. The department of rehabilitation helps pay for college if you have a disability.
Very good to know! Thank you for sharing!
Hello Ms.K

Hello I’ve been watching your videos I will be going to extern next month so excited
That's awesome! I wish you the best ☺️
